Tuesday is last day to register to vote in Nov.

Tuesday marks the final day to register to vote for the November 6th election.

County election offices around Southwest Florida have been getting lots of new voters signed up just in time to meet the deadline.

More than 7,500 people have registered in Lee County since August's primary election, bringing the total number of registered voters in the county to about 385,000.

Republicans make up the largest number of registered voters in Lee County but the elections office says the number of recent Republican and Democrat registrations have remained fairly equal.

There are two ways to register to vote before the deadline.

You can register in person before 5:00 p.m. or send your registration by mail, as long as it is postmarked with today's date.

It's also recommended that you check your voter registration to make sure it hasn't expired.

"It's almost two and a half, three years before we remove anyone, but I've received a number of phone calls and emails from people who haven't voted since 2004," says Lee Co. Supervisor of Elections Sharon Harrington.

Offices in Lee County close at 5:00 p.m. today.

Charlotte County has extended their hours to 7:00 p.m. tonight and Collier County has extended their hours until 8:00 p.m.
